Welcome to The Trails & Rails Museum

Operated by the Buffalo County Historical Society, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), we rely on donations, memberships, and admission fees to maintain our historic buildings and artifacts.

To help us give your group the best possible experience, please review the tour options below and choose the one that best fits your needs. We’re happy to answer questions or discuss options with you!

Tour Booking Guidelines:
Our historic buildings have small rooms, so we limit group sizes per space to ensure everyone can hear and enjoy the tour. Please book at least two weeks in advance so we can coordinate staff and volunteers. Your tour is confirmed only after receiving a written confirmation from the Community Engagement Director.

A picnic area/gazebo is available for lunch. With prior approval, the Church, Depot or West Wing of the Family History Center may be used as a backup location in case of bad weather. If using a caterer, you’ll need to coordinate directly with them.

As a true not-for-profit organization, we strive to be fair to everyone, including our volunteers.  Unfortunately, the group tour system has been abused in the past, which is why the ‘Group Tour Reservation  Form’ was created. 

Any change to your group number, date or time must be confirmed with the Community Engagement Director. Without adequate notice, we may not be able to accommodate the change.  The Trails & Rails Museum reserves the right to cancel tours due to changes not communicated and confirmed with the Community Engagement Director. 

Pre-payment or pre-arranged payment will be required to confirm a reservation.  We truly want to work with you to make sure this is an amazing experience for everyone involved.  Thank you for understanding. 

Please sign and date below as acknowledgement that you have read, understand, and agree to the terms outlined on this form. Your typed name and date will be considered binding.
